179: No need! Just gold coins, I have plenty!
“Are you ready to answer my questions? These are all ancient problems!”
Dr. Xue looked at Qin Yun with wise eyes.
This!!!
Ancient problems?
“I’m ready!”
Qin Yun could only brace himself and answer.
“First question: Please state which era the Beast Tamers profession originated from!”
“…”
Qin Yun’s head instantly swelled; how would he know this question?
“Um… do you know the answer? Are there any hints?”
Qin Yun looked at Daphne at the edge of the altar, but Daphne indicated that she didn't know either.
“Ancient Era?”
Qin Yun tried to answer.
“Incorrect answer!”
Buzz!
A powerful Divine-level Ice Yeti BOSS appeared, still at Tier 7. Its Ice Beast Skill was quite formidable, capable of freezing targets in place.
However, Qin Yun easily blasted it apart, turning it into a pile of ice shards.
“Next question: Who founded the Beast Taming Holy City?”
“…”
Qin Yun finally understood.
This was a history test!
“My father founded it!”
“Incorrect answer!”
Another Divine-level Ice Yeti BOSS appeared, this time a swift-attacking Ice Succubus BOSS wielding dual swords.
It took some effort!
Qin Yun still blasted it apart.
“Next question: In the Ancient Heavenfall War, which Beast Tamers expert, due to overexertion, suffered from diarrhea and was caught off guard by his opponent, leading to his defeat and earning him the title “Combat Scum”?”
“…”
“Answer timed out, judgment incorrect!”
Qin Yun had no choice but to continue fighting the Ice Yeti BOSS.
“Ding! You have answered three questions incorrectly in a row. If you answer incorrectly a fourth time, the quest will be judged as failed!”
“Ding! Daphne NPC has activated the quest effect “Knowledge is Money”. For the following questions, you can choose to buy the answers with gold coins!”
“No! If you had this quest effect, why didn’t you activate it earlier?!”
Qin Yun complained.
“This effect can only be triggered after you answer incorrectly three times. I hope your gold coin reserves are enough to buy the correct answers, otherwise, I can do nothing!”
Daphne also didn't want Qin Yun to fall at this stage, but to obtain that quest item, he could only answer the questions!
“Question: In ancient times, there were four types of Holy Beasts. Their individual strength was ordinary, but when combined, they could defeat any Holy Beast of the same level. Please name these four Holy Beasts.”
Wait!
If I intentionally answer the fourth question incorrectly, can I cancel this quest and return to the real world to accept a new Tier 8 advancement quest?
Qin Yun thought wisely.
At this moment, Daphne seemed to have seen through Qin Yun’s thoughts and reminded him, “Qin Yun, once an ancient quest is accepted, it’s not that easy to cancel. Once the quest fails, you will never be able to accept a Tier 8 advancement quest again. If you don’t believe me, you can check the latest quest prompt.”
“…”
Qin Yun opened his quest panel and indeed saw a new quest prompt: Quest failed, permanently unable to accept new Tier 8 advancement quests!
I’ll smack your horse!
Qin Yun’s forehead was covered in black lines.
If he knew which brain-dead NPC issued this quest, he would definitely give them a good beating in the future!
“I choose to buy the answer with money!”
“Ding! Since you chose to buy the answer with money, there are three purchasing methods:”
“① Spend one million gold coins, and four answer options will appear!”
“② Spend ten million gold coins, and two answer options will appear!”
“③ Spend one hundred million gold coins, and the correct answer will be given directly!”
“…”
In that case, wouldn’t it cost three hundred million gold coins to complete this quest?
This damn quest is a rip-off; you can’t complete it without money, right?
Seeing Qin Yun hesitate, Daphne, thinking he didn't have enough gold coins, quickly said, “Qin Yun, you don’t even have one million gold coins, do you? I can lend you three million gold coins, but you’ll have to return three hundred million gold coins later. This is the rule of the quest!”
What?
Lend me three million gold coins, but I have to return three hundred million? Are you crazy from poverty?
“No need! It’s just gold coins, I have plenty!”
“Ding! You spent one hundred million gold coins and successfully purchased the answer: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise!”
Hmm?
Azure Dragon Holy Beast?
Qin Yun muttered to himself, “Is Da Qing’s ancestor that amazing?”
If he ever had the chance, he would definitely contract the other three Divine Beasts to see if they were truly amazing when combined!
“You directly spent one hundred million gold coins to buy the correct answer?”
Daphne’s eyes widened.
Although Qin Yun was currently the Human Race’s only Divine-level Beast Tamers, he shouldn’t have that many gold coins, should he? Unless all Human Race Beast Tamerss supplied Qin Yun with gold coins, but was that possible?
No race could possibly supply all their gold coins to one person!
But when Qin Yun casually spent another two hundred million gold coins to buy the answers to the next two questions, Daphne finally confirmed that the amount of gold coins Qin Yun possessed was absolutely unimaginable to her; otherwise, Qin Yun wouldn’t be so nonchalant.
Thus!
After spending three hundred million gold coins, Qin Yun successfully passed the quest and obtained a quest item, [Snow Spirit Holy Water]!
“I hope the next quest isn’t too much of a rip-off!”
Qin Yun rubbed his forehead.
“Qin Yun, congratulations on successfully passing the answering quest. Next, use the Green Totem Shard to randomly summon an ancient spirit corrupted by black mist, and purify it with the Snow Spirit Holy Water!”
“Due to being corrupted by black mist, you must first find a way to suppress it before you can use the Snow Spirit Holy Water!”
Daphne stated the quest requirements.
Qin Yun immediately used the Green Totem Shard, and an ancient Dragon Race spirit with scales emitting black mist was summoned.
“Roar!”
As soon as it appeared.
This ancient spirit furiously attacked Qin Yun. Due to the quest rules, its level was only Tier 7.
“Remember, you can only suppress it, not kill it. Otherwise, the quest will be judged as failed!”
Daphne was afraid Qin Yun would use too much force and kill this ancient spirit.
“Suppress? Isn’t that simple?”
Golden Niu, Da Qing, Thunder Treasure, Little Deer, and Little NPC Loz, the five Divine Beasts, all came out. Relying on their attribute advantage comparable to peak Tier 9, they forcibly suppressed this ancient Dragon Spirit, rendering it completely immobile!
“No! Qin Yun contracted five Divine Beasts? And that Thunder Beast among them even possesses the potential of a Holy Beast?”
Daphne’s heart trembled repeatedly; she was almost numb from Qin Yun’s shocking abilities. Qin Yun was truly a monstrous talent!
[Snow Spirit Holy Water — Use!]
Purifying…
1%
2%
…
69%
The purification process was somewhat slow. Each percentage point of purification took approximately 30 minutes, meaning it would take an estimated 2 days to complete.
“Qin Yun, when the purification reaches 80%, a black mist barrier will appear. At that time, you will need to break through the black mist barrier within a limited time, otherwise the quest will be judged as failed! And you must use Soul-attribute Beast Skills to attack, otherwise the attack will be ineffective!”
Soul attribute?
Qin Yun smiled faintly.
The Ten Thousand Beasts summoned by the Ten Thousand Beasts Array Diagram were all full-attribute attacks!
When the purification reached 80%, the black mist barrier appeared. Qin Yun casually merged with Little Deer, transforming into his Deer Spirit Divine Form, and unleashed the Ten Thousand Beasts Array Diagram!
Facing the continuous bombardment of tens of thousands of powerful fierce beasts, the black mist barrier didn’t last long before exploding.
“Such a powerful talent effect, what is the origin of these tens of thousands of fierce beasts? Why don’t I know about them?”
Daphne was inwardly horrified.
Two days later.
Purification complete!
The ancient Dragon Spirit returned to normal.
The next two totem quests were much simpler.
One was to break the black mist chains, and the other was a test of will. None of these posed a challenge to Qin Yun.
“How many more quest stages are there?”
Qin Yun asked directly.
“Only after completing one quest will the next quest be revealed. I’m not sure how many stages there are in total. The next quests involve the domain aspect, which is a common quest segment for Tier 8 advancement quests!”
“There are four stages in total: Understanding the Domain, Comprehending the Domain, Simulating and Constructing the Domain, and Domain Challenge!”
Daphne introduced the quests while also prompting, “This quest, Simulating and Constructing the Domain, is the most important. The domain you construct will become the final domain reward for this advancement quest, so you must not be careless when constructing the domain. The more complete and perfect the construction, the more effects it will have!”
“Each time you complete a construction, there will be a completeness judgment. If you are not satisfied, you can spend gold coins to reconstruct it!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun nodded.
This was simply creating one's own domain, with the completeness determined by oneself, and the level determined by the completion of the quest!
“Understood, let’s begin!”
